Holy heckin’ heck, FINALLY! January is coming to an end. Is it just us or did it feel like 67 days long? Why do Januaries always feel like that? Is it because the majority of us go sober for «dry January?» I did not do dry January this year. But, unfortunately for me, many of my friends did. So I basically went damp January without even wanting to! So unfair. And what about these poor bartenders? These service industry folks just came off of a long holiday season that usually leaves them broke af. And what does society do? Leave them high and dry to fend off rent by making, tops, $30 a night. So unfair.
Listen, we’re not trying to encourage anyone trying to remove themselves from a problem to not do dry January. But can the rest of us do whatever we want? We do I get the stink eye like, «oh… You’re not doing Dry Jan?…» No, Rachel, I am not. I can’t afford to bring my own green juice every single time to the bar. You know what I can afford? A $7 beer and shot deal. So let me live me life! Anyway, who wants to grab a meme and cheers to the end of dry January?!
